Sl-5500/5600

Does anyone know if it is possible to acquire a VPN client for these machines?

I have a 802.11b wireless network at school, unfortunately in order to log into the primary network a VPN client is necessary--without one wireless connectivity is almost entirely useless to me...

I just started to look into the zaurus units, and a google search including zaurus and software yielded a site with loads of links to linux utilities for zaurus. One of the links was for Freeswan...vpn software. Good Luck, I think the site was www.killefiz.de/zaurus.

I just bought my zaurus today. I have been playing with the av stuff. Tonite I am going to set up my network. I already put a wireless card in that seemlessly conected to the e-net without any problems. I also need vpn. Will let you know. jimslinux

I too will be going the way of freeswan when I get my Zaurus. I have used it before with routers. It can be kind of confusing if you have never set it up before. On another note any Idea when the 5600 will be out. The sharpusa.com site says early 2003. I was hoping for something a bit more specific. Also, have any of you messed around with wireless. The Enfora/verizon stuff is not avaiable in my area and apparently there is a guy out there who has gotten the Z to work with a sierra aircard555 which has up to 144 k throughput on the verizon network. Any thought?
